This document discusses changes in agriculture and land use in Kenya between 1983 and 2013. Some key findings include: - Agricultural intensity increased significantly over this period, with the most intensive agriculture replacing natural vegetation. - Tree cover declined overall but herbaceous plants declined more than trees. Managed trees on farms increased by over 200,000 hectares. - Land tenure impacts land use practices - adjudicated land had more intensive agriculture and tree cover compared to unadjudicated land. - Population growth and expansion of agriculture led to loss of forests like Mau Forest and encroachment into forest reserves. Agricultural intensity varied between agro-ecological zones and was influenced by rainfall and temperature.
